Why is it better than hitting cmd-shift-Y for a note?
I can’t not.
I did not know about that. Thanks!
I usually use the classic Notes app as it synchronises automatically with my iPhone.
Doesn’t do anything for me. Is this something that only works in a specific text editor, perchance?

It should make a new sticky note. Maybe your minimal keyboard doesn’t have a cmd key?
The Notes app has come a looong way. It’s pretty much good enough for me to get rid of Evernotes now (my needs are fairly simple).

It took me a few tries to make it work: You have to highlight some text first, then press shift-cmd-y.

Ahah! If only I had known that I could do almost the same thing by employing a peculiar and restrictive set of interactions with an ugly text editor whose key user interface metaphor replicates the physical clutter of a paper-strewn desk.

I like it.
Nor for me; just an alert “bonk.”
Buyer beware: 10.12 and later only.

Sheesh. I’d completely forgotten about stickies. The last time I used them was when I had a Mac SE 30 five or six employers ago.
It worked on Yosemite after I highlighted some text. Good old CMD-SHFT-Y… Y? Y not?
im going to write tyke down for when i get around to updating…
